A closed but unlocked rear hatch automatically locks at speeds
above about 5 mph (10 km/h).
Make sure that the remote control vehicle key is not in the luggage compartment
before closing the rear hatch.
Improper or unsupervised closing of the rear hatch can cause
severe injuries. Never close the rear hatch when someone is in
the way.
Never leave your vehicle unattended or let children play
around your vehicle, especially with the rear hatch left open. A
child could crawl into the vehicle and pull the rear hatch shut,
becoming trapped and unable to get out. A closed vehicle can
become very hot or very cold depending on the season.
Temperatures can quickly reach levels that can cause
unconsciousness or death, particularly to small children.
